Global Estimation of Precipitation Using Opaque Microwave Bands
This thesis describes the use of opaque microwave bands for global estimation of precipitation rate. An algorithm was developed for estimating instantaneous precipitation rate for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) on the NOAA-15, NOAA-16, and NOAA-17 satellites, and the Advanced Microwa...
